My Iyashikei Game-Novel

Chapter 151: 151

The sudden scream from the 4th floor shook Han Fei. Then he heard the voice of the boy in the stairwell again, “Why are the three of them doing this again? I should have let mommy suffocate all of them when I had the chance!” The boy cursed under his breath before he hurried upstairs. As the boy moved away, Han Fei pushed the door slightly outward so he could catch a glimpse of the boy’s back. The boy was wearing the school uniform of Yi Ming Private Academy but the uniform was several sizes too big for him. After the boy left, the door to the manager’s office swung open again. The powerful footsteps returned. It was the hostel manager, who also headed upstairs, with a flashlight.

‘An accident might have happened, this place is much more dangerous than the Happiness Neighbourhood.’ Han Fei arranged the info in his mind, ‘Just now it was a boy who stood on the other side of the door. Based on what he said, he should be the one who planted the needle inside the banana, in that case, he probably has to do with those ‘thank you’ notes as well. The boy was not shocked when the scream occurred, he even said that this was not the first time this has happened. This means that he knows the culprits. From the info that I have, there are at least 4 malicious spirits inside this building and they know each other.’

After the hostel manager left, Han Fei walked out from behind the door. He put the landlord’s ring back on and headed upstairs. Even though the hostel only had 4 floors, every floor contained many rooms. However, all of the rooms were deathly quiet. Han Fei slunk his way up to the corner between 3rd and 4th floor. He could hear a barely discernible voice coming from upstairs. “I only killed one, why are there dead bodies all over the place?” A middle-aged woman’s voice came from the 4th floor stairwell door. From his vantage point, Han Fei could see that she was dragging a female carcass out from Room 401. The body’s stomach was unusually flat like the organs inside had been hollowed out.

The hostel manager was incredibly fit. She wrapped the girl up inside the comforter and then hauled the body over her broad shoulder and went down the stairs. Han Fei reacted quickly and slithered into the 3rd floor corridor.

The hostel manager’s every step jingled as the keys in her pocket jangled against each other. Carrying the body, she did not enter the 3rd floor corridor but headed directly downstairs. After the hostel manager left, Han Fei found his way up to the 4th floor instead.

‘The doors to Room 401 and the nearby bathroom are open. Did a tragedy befall someone when they tried to use the bathroom in the middle of the night? But what about her roommates? Are they still alive?’ Han Fei gathered his courage and stepped into Room 401. At first glance, this was a normal hostel bedroom. And it was empty. The small room was littered with objects. Han Fei felt uneasy inside so he picked up his pace and searched for valuable information.

The girl who occupied Bed No. 1 was called Qiu Qiu. There was a collection of love poems hidden under her pillow. A few pages were torn out from the book. The girl appeared to be in a relationship. Some flirtatious remarks were left on the back of her exercise book. ‘Why would she leave these in her exercise book? Isn’t she afraid that the teacher will see them? Or are they meant to be seen by the teacher?’

In any case, Han Fei turned to Bed No. 2 since he had limited time. The name of the girl in this bed was written on her textbook, Yu Yingying. The girl was a groupie. She seemed to come from a better background. The clothes that were draped over her bed were of a more expensive quality than the rest of the girls.

The girl in Bed No. 3 was called Wang Hui. Two pairs of sports shoes were placed beside her bed. Her open school bag contained a pass from the school sports team. It appeared like she was aiming for a sports scholarship.

Han Fei reached Bed No. 4 at last. He pulled back the mosquito net and immediately noticed something was wrong. The mattress was wrinkled and the comforter was balled up into a mess. Something unsightly had just happened here. ‘The girl that the hostel manager carried out occupied this bed? But what happened to her? There was no visible wound on her stomach but her stomach appears deflated. Is the culprit still inside this room?’ He whipped his body around to check. Before Han Fei could get a good look, the boy’s voice came from the corridor again. “I’ve already planned everything, why do the 3 of you have to ruin everything?!”

“We can do whatever we like, who are you to boss us around?’

“Stop arguing, all of them are going to die anyway.”

The voices approached the door, if Han Fei left the room now, he’d run right into them. He looked around, pulled back the sheet from Bed No. 4 and scurried underneath it. Holding his breath, Han Fei turned his eyes to the door. It was then that he felt goosebumps coming all over his body. He saw a woman’s face under Bed No. 1!

Her curtain of black hair swung to the ground. The girl was trussed up and tied under the bed. Her eyes were wide open even in death. Han Fei clamped on his teeth to prevent the scream from escaping his throat.

Soon someone entered Room 401. Said person wore a pair of white sports shoes and sat on Bed No. 1.

“Now that all four girls have been murdered, Teacher Ma’s secret will never be exposed again.”

“He is really a horrible person. After accepting Qiu Qiu’s confession, he still went after Chu Xia.”

“I so wish to kill him.”

“Shut your mouths! That is our father!” The boy suddenly shouted. “There is one more person who knows about the secret. When daddy tricked Chu Xia into the gym, there was someone hiding behind the sports equipment. That person escaped through the gym window before they were discovered.”

“How are we supposed to find this person when there are so many students at this school? You don’t expect us to murder everyone at the school just to protect Teacher Ma, right?’

“It’ll be impossible to do that. Why don’t we change our target and kill Teacher Ma instead?”

“Are you capable of killing him?”

“Just shut up already!” The boy warned dangerously. “I will deal with the rest.”

“Why should the three of us listen to you?”

“Of the quadruplet, you’re the only one alive. You’ve sucked away all of the life forces so the three of us became stillborn and now we still need to listen to your orders?”

“Try us and see if we’ll kill you or not?”

“Are you threatening me?” The boy huffed but he did not get angry. “Indeed, I am weak on my own… How about this, I will find some relics in this school and give them all to you. They will have a lingering presence that you favor.”

“What do you need from the three of us?” The 3 other voices were instantly persuaded.

“I need you to leave my body and stay inside Room 401. Do not wander off again!” The boy said as he unzipped something. “If you promise me that, the things inside this schoolbag are all yours.” As the bag opened, the temperature in the room dropped. Chill also came from Han Fei’s ring. But to Han Fei’s surprise, there was a comfort laced within the chill. He turned to look at his finger and realized Xu Qin’s pet shadow was curled around the landlord’s ring. It seemed to enjoy the chill emitted from the ring. ‘This thing has followed me into the map?!’

Since Weep and Lee Zai did not have the correct id, they were blocked outside Yi Ming Private Academy. However, the barrier appeared to only work on ghosts and spirits. Xu Qin’s pet was of indeterminate nature, it was not a lifeform, it was very unique. Its presence appeared to be a bug. The shadow on his finger desired Yin energy, Han Fei could feel its hunger but he could do nothing about it for now.

Han Fei once obtained information from the female student who infiltrated into Happiness Neighbourhood. There was a student at Yi Ming Private Academy who had been possessed by a very scary ghost, it was that student who changed the whole school. Han Fei believed that the boy inside the room with him might be that student, therefore, he had to be careful. He had to wait until the boy vacated the room before he could do anything.

The boy completed the transaction with the 3 other voices. He left the schoolbag and departed from Room 401. After he was gone, three small figures materialized inside the room. They started to ransack through the schoolbag. ‘The boy had his brothers stay inside Room 401, this is not good for me. If I stay here any longer, they’ll eventually find me.’ Unless absolutely necessary, Han Fei was not going to log off. ‘It’s better for me to escape from this room and find a safer place before I log off.’

His muscles tensed and Han Fei observed the room. When he was looking for a chance, an old pair of glasses fell to the ground. The 3 figures had been fighting over the things inside the bag and one of the things fell out during the commotion. The glasses looked worn out and had blood stains on it. It radiated a strong Yin energy.

“How about we share this?”

“Okay.”

“I agree.” One of the boys bent down. It reached out for the glasses when it felt something off. It slowly turned its head to look under Bed No. 4 and a man’s face was looking back at it!

Using Soul-Depth Touch, Han Fei landed a kick right on the boy’s body!

Han Fei had no other choice. So far, all he kept getting from the system was passive skill. Even though it was not meant for this purpose, Han Fei had to use the passive skill in an offensive manner to save himself. He toppled the bed frame and plunged forward to swipe away the schoolbag from the stunned boy. The thread around his fingertip curled around the glasses on the ground. Before the 3 boys could react, Han Fei already flew out the room and raced down the corridor!
